This thing is going to be 11 years?

Holy Fuck the NFLPA in inept.

At this rate, they'll probably end up with more strict drug testing.

Hey young amazing athletes. Choose baseball, hockey or basketball.

The NFL Owners will rip your testicles off and produce your cheap replacement with the seed.

But they'll give you free healthcare that you don't need and that will kill you early so they don't have to pay for your healthcare as long.

It's a good deal for both sides.
Personally, I don't like adding a 17th game or the new playoff format, but this will benefit most of the NFL players.

• Players would receive a 48% share of the NFL revenue in 2021 and it would increase to 48.5% if a 17-game season goes into effect and new media deals are signed.
• Minimum salaries for rookies would increase by $100K in ’20 with an additional $50K increase in ’21, followed by a $45K increase each following season.
• Similar to the NBA’s mid-level exception, each team would have an additional $1.25 million excluded from the cap for two players with four-plus years of experience.
• When a fifth-year option is exercised, the fourth and fifth year can become fully guaranteed, depending on when the option is exercised. The salary is determined by player performance instead of where the player was selected.
• NFL teams will receive additional cap room in 2021 if the 17-game schedule is implemented, even if new media deals aren’t signed.
• Practice squad player salaries will increase to $10,500 per week. The practice squad also increases from 12 to 14 players.
• Increase NFL roster sizes from 53 to 55.

League Discipline: After years of cracking down on marijuana use, the NFL is prepared to scale back significantly and reduce commissioner Roger Goodell’s discipline power.

• Reduction in fines for on-field violations, reduction in fines from each team.
• A neutral decision-maker will handle the majority of discipline matters, removing the authority from Goodell.
• The drug testing window for THC is lowered from four months to two weeks at the start of training camp.
• The number of players tested for marijuana will be reduced.
• The necessary nanogram limit to fail a drug test will be raised from 35 to 100.
• Elimination of suspensions for players who strictly test positive for THC.

Practice Schedule: In exchange for the additional game, players will get a lighter practice and training schedule during the year and in training camp.

• Each team will be restricted to a 2.5-hour limit for each padded, full-speed practice.
• Following the end of training camp, players will receive a three-day break if a 17-game schedule is implemented.
• NFL teams will be limited to four joint practices in training camp, if the league moves to three preseason games.

Player Treatment: Under a new CBA, players would see a significant increase in resources, improved facilities and benefits.

• Mandatory improvements made to visiting locker rooms at every NFL stadium.
• New standards set for rehabilitation facilities, training rooms, team equipment.
• Pension increase of 10% and matching 401K contribution increased to $30K, with further improvements in the following years.
• Vision coverage added to healthcare plans.
• Active and former players will receive increased tuition reimbursement
• A $50,000 HRA will be established for vested veterans without an HRA.
• A new network of hospitals in every NFL city for former players to receive no-cost physicals, preventative care, mental health counseling and outpatient orthopedic services.

In exchange for the 17th game, players will have less practice making the other 16 games worse.

Fans lose again.

Letting, even forcing, teams to slack off in training camp leads to a lot of injuries early in the season. Before the last CBA, you seldom saw Patriots pulling up lame in the first week, because they were worked hard in pre-season conditioning. Not so anymore. Pre-season workouts from high school to the pros are just for show now.

I agree with you on this point. Hate what cutting back on OTA's and contact practice has done to the game. Sadly it's not going back to what it once was.

The salary is determined by player performance instead of where the player was selected.

is there any other details on this part? From the outside looking in, this looks to be something heading in the right direction.

A neutral decision-maker will handle the majority of discipline matters, removing the authority from Goodell.

This is absolutely a positive thing.

Practice Schedule: In exchange for the additional game, players will get a lighter practice and training schedule during the year and in training camp.

This is gonna suck. this will bring down the quality of the game IMO.

A new network of hospitals in every NFL city for former players to receive no-cost physicals, preventative care, mental health counseling and outpatient orthopedic services.

This should have always been a thing personally.

this is confusing to me.
How could so many vote wrong in their minds to have to want to change their vote. (I would get it if it were a few people)
but
Why not allow them to change their vote? Not like they already tallied the votes. it is literally their own union. Why wouldnt they want it to end up the way the union members want it?

Probably because the lawyers "helping" the union are being paid under the table by the Owners to get it done their way. Then it's just the PR people that have to sell it as "even" to the public.

The total of those votes seems low to me.
